A BIRDING TRIP TO CUBA presented by Ami Horowitz
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. Although it is separated from mainland America by less than 100 miles, Cuba has many endemic bird species, which draws birders from around the world. Join us for a birding trip across this naturally-gifted island to see special endemic birds such as the Bee Hummingbird, the smallest bird in the world, sharing space with North America’s wintering birds.
